TCX's new Climatrek riding boot is also effective off the bike

 TCX have announced a new boot to be added to their roster: the Climatrek Surround Gore-Tex.

The aim of the Climatrek Surround Gore-Tex, TCX says, is to bring the safety of a riding boot to the comfort of a walking boot. 

To do this, TCX have designed the Climatrek Surround Gore-Tex “innovative ventilation grid and side openings,” to mean that “the boots promise riders dry and comfortable feet, no matter the weather,” according to a TCX press release.

The Climatrek is not just a boot for riding. It is also suitable, TCX says, for “light trekking,” beneficial if you’ve gone adventuring and arrived at a place you want to explore in more detail, away from the bike. 

TCX’s new boot also features CE-approved protection for the lower leg (in particular the shin and malleolus), “as well as toe and heel reinforcements.”

About the Climatrek’s comfort, TCX says, “Comfort is high on the agenda for the Climatrek Surround Gore-Tex boots with the EVA cushioned midsole, as well as the Ortholite footbed that gives long term cushioning.” 

They continue, “Constructed with both high tenacity and synthetic materials, the new TCX boots offer maximum breathability and waterproofing with their Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane.”

There is also a new rubber outsole to the boot, called “Groundtrax,” designed for touring, light off-roading, and walking on uneven terrain. 

The TCX Climatrek Surround Gore-Tex boot is available in a “Black/Grey” colour option, with sizes from 5-13 (UK, EU sizes 38-48), and a price of £199.99.

Additionally, there is a ladies’ option, the Climatrek Surround Lady GTX, which features all of the same safety features of the Climatrek Surround Gore-Tex but “designed specifically for a woman’s foot shape,” according to TCX. The ladies’ option is  available in “Black/Gold,” with sizes 3-8 (UK, EU sizes 35-42) at £199.99.
